This inadvertent collaboration began with a conversation about the worlds around us — and our own motions within it — leading to feelings of futility, sometimes maybe the inability to do anything at all. He was fiddling around with a guitar at the time because he couldn't make work; I wrote something down because i was still in shock and didn't know how to help. I was thinking of him and thinking of her, and then decided one night when Anh was asleep in the other room to record it for them, sitting in darkness in a hallway with metal walls. She couldn't understand the English and he offered to translate it for her, he stumbled and listened to it over and over again, then he wrote something down, too, thinking of a different her. She put us together, just before her baby was born, and that became the introduction of the piece. I cried the first time i saw it.
这种不经意间的合作始于一次关于我们周围世界的对话--以及我们自己在其中的运动--导致了徒劳无功的感觉，有时也许根本无能为力。他当时因为做不出作品，所以在摆弄着一把吉他；我因为还处在震惊中，不知道该如何帮助他，所以写下了一些东西。我在想他，也在想她，然后决定在某天晚上，当安安在另一个房间里睡着的时候，坐在黑暗中，在一个有金属墙的走廊里为他们录音。她听不懂英文，他主动给她翻译，他磕磕绊绊地听了一遍又一遍，然后他也写下了一些东西，想着不一样的她。她把我们放在一起，就在她的孩子出生前，这成了作品的引子。我第一次看到的时候就哭了

This opening section is an extract from a longer video essay on the entanglements of a relationship breakup, the psychological and emotional wear of social movements, the oppression of traditional family values and a deserted single mother. While the background stories that have led to the texts and images do have particular incidents and contexts that link them to the question of violence, what is considered here is less the impact of a punch but a slow accumulation, seepages into the body and across time that very often unnoticeably infiltrate, morph and distort. These perpetrations reveal complexities of emotion in a manner that belie the moment of the hit. The piece is a slowly layered and inadvertent collaboration between 何穎雅 Elaine W. Ho, Jojo of the Ultra Clan (超家族的Jojo), 賴宇通 Lai Yu Tong (Cosmologists) and 苗母 Mother Miao.
这个开头部分是一篇较长的视频文章的摘录，内容涉及关系破裂的纠葛、社会运动的心理和情感磨损、传统家庭价值观的压迫和一个被抛弃的单身母亲。虽然导致这些文字和图像的背景故事确实有特定的事件和背景，将它们与暴力问题联系在一起，但这里考虑的不是一拳的影响，而是一种缓慢的积累，渗入身体和跨越时间，往往在不经意间渗透、变形和扭曲。这些行为以一种相信打人瞬间的方式，揭示了复杂的情感。作品是何穎雅、超家族的Jojo、賴宇通、黎雨桐和苗母在不經意間的合作，慢慢地層層疊疊、不經意間的合作。
